What's your level of training?

This is a discussion on What's your level of training? within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; man, i would love to train with gabe. I hope he comes to PA soon....

I was \"taught\" by a few target shooters. Really never helped my accuracy any. Police qualification \"training\" (not really training, just shoot for qual) for 18 years, again no practical training.

Last year I finally took real professional training with Jim Crews http://www.marksmans.com, 3 days and 28 hours of range time. Great experience and helped my shooting skills immensely.

Plan on taking Randy Cain\'s training in the Nashua, NH area this Summer. See http://www.neshooters.com for these local training opportunities. If you do sign up, please let them know that I referred you - it\'s a great group of local guys (all certified trainers) who are trying to bring top-notch training to the Northeast area.

I took a marksmanship course in college (military college) that was based on the US Army manual. It was very basic though.

I got my first handgun training at the police academy. Since then I have attended advanced training within my deprtment and at the state training facility. I have also become a state certified instructor and have obtained an additional police shotgun instructor certification.

I would very much like to attend some classes at some of the "top flight" schools.

I have only taken my CCW class with respect to formal training. On the 8th of June I am going to LFI in Dumbarton, NH to be instructed by Massad Ayoob. My plans included taking all the LFI courses then I may go to Gunsite.
